I've found my old blogspot page again. I didn't last very long with it last time (just over 2 years ago), but I've just bought a flight to Thailand today, and I thought I'd like to blog my journey that will be the next 2 months.
2009 has been a year of waiting for me. I've ben finishing up at Gloria Jeans for the last four months, but not sure whats doing next. I almost went through the NT by myself in a 4wd, then I tried for Thailand, and now after much waiting...Thailand is happening! I'm going to Chiang Mai in ten days to a business as mission conference. I'm hoping to gain some exposure to integrating business and community development in a developing context, and to meet people who already practise it; and hopefully work alongside them! I've never been to Asia before, so its an exciting adventure, that will likely involve some climbing, motorbike riding, meeting all sorts of people and who knows what else!?!
Its also been a bit of a journey for me and God. I'm not a patient person, and I'm fairly self driven, so I think God has used this experience to teach me a thing or two: namely, to rely on him alone, and be content to wait for his timing. I'm sure I'll relearn this lesson several times over in my lifetime. Realising also that ambition and self fulfillment have been subtly near and dear to my heart, and trying to let go has, and still is somewhat painful, but I'm getting there. Is this all too personal for a blog? Oh well, take it or leave it....
